NIH will apply the Simplified Review Framework to All Relevant Applications for August/October 2025 Councils

NIH issued Notice Number NOT-OD-25-116 clarifying which applications will be reviewed under the simplified review framework for August and October 2025 Councils. NIH has announced and reiterated that all grant applications using specific activity codes (comprising most research project grant applications) with due dates on or after January 25, 2025, will be reviewed under the simplified review framework. However, certain NOFOs using these specific activity codes inadvertently list earlier review criteria in Section V Application Review Information. NIH will review all such applications using the simplified review framework.
